At the Liberty: "A Haunting in Venice"

DAYTON - "A Haunting in Venice" is set in eerie, post-World War II Venice on All Hallows' Eve. It is a terrifying mystery featuring the return of the celebrated sleuth, Hercule Poirot. Now retired and living in self-imposed exile in the world's most glamorous city, Poirot reluctantly attends a séance at a decaying, haunted palazzo. When one of the guests is murdered, the detective is thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets.

Critics at Rotten Tomatoes give this movie a 75% favorable rating, and audiences agree with a 77%.
